OXFORDSHIRE IT SUPPORT
Managed IT support in Oxford and Oxfordshire
IT support for businesses in Oxford and across Oxfordshire. From our Faringdon office, CIS helps staff resolve everyday issues, takes ownership of agreed systems and sets out a practical plan for cloud, security and recovery.
A clear owner for support and planned changes
From our Faringdon office, CIS supports the people, applications and systems your business depends on. For a team of 50 to 200 staff, that means dealing with today’s requests while making time for security, maintenance and planned improvements.
We agree who owns helpdesk requests, monitoring, access and escalation. Your service scope also sets out support hours, response priorities and the work that needs an engineer on site.
Our Oxfordshire delivery includes shared cloud systems for Bronsens’ Witney and Chipping Norton offices, and regular housekeeping visits and an equipment upgrade for Cherrytree in Wantage. The customer accounts below explain what that work involved.
Support your people
Responsive helpdesk support and practical assistance with the technology your team uses every day.
Reduce disruption
Proactive monitoring, maintenance and backup planning to help keep business-critical systems reliable.
Plan with confidence
Agree a 12-month improvement plan with named owners, priorities and budget. Review recurring incidents, access problems and recovery tests to see what has improved.
IT services for your Oxfordshire business
Choose managed IT support when you want an outsourced team to take on agreed day-to-day responsibilities. If you have an IT manager or internal team, co-managed IT support adds specialist skills and capacity around the work they retain.
For an Oxfordshire team improving shared files, remote access or business applications, our Microsoft 365 and cloud services cover support, migration planning and hosted environments. Backup and disaster recovery starts with the systems you need back first, acceptable data loss and evidence from restore tests.
We agree the users, devices, applications and locations covered before support starts. IT support consultancy helps you assess an ageing network, a growing workforce or a planned change before committing to a project.
Experience with Oxfordshire organisations
Bronsens, Witney and Chipping Norton: CIS moved the accountancy practice’s servers and data to its private cloud and hosted IRIS Accountancy Suite, Virtual Cabinet and Microsoft Office. Staff gained access to one shared data set across both offices and when working remotely. Read how Bronsens improved access across its offices.
John Welch & Stammers, Witney: we moved the law firm’s servers to a UK hosted environment, made IRIS Evolution available remotely and introduced full server image backup. The practice reported improved productivity and a more secure way of working. Read the law firm’s cloud and recovery story.
Cherrytree, Wantage: regular housekeeping visits supported staff with their systems, alongside a planned upgrade involving ten computers. Read Cherrytree’s account of ongoing support and improvements.
Changing IT provider in Oxfordshire?
Bring the issues that prompted the change, your key dates and a list of the systems you rely on. We help you turn those priorities into a support scope and a handover plan.
The handover needs to cover administrator access, documentation, licences, backups and open support issues. Use our checklist for changing IT provider to prepare, then book an IT support review with our Faringdon team.

Questions about IT support in Oxfordshire
Do you support businesses in Oxford as well as the wider county?
Yes. We support businesses in Oxford and across Oxfordshire, including Faringdon, Witney, Wantage, Abingdon, Didcot, Bicester and Banbury. Tell us where your people work and what systems they use so we can agree the remote support and site visits your service needs. Our Oxfordshire office is in Faringdon.
Is CIS a suitable IT partner for a business with 50 to 200 staff?
For a team of 50 to 200, support needs to cover everyday requests while keeping security, business applications and planned improvements moving. We review your users, locations, internal IT resources and critical systems, then explain the managed or co-managed service that fits those responsibilities. We also support smaller and larger organisations where the scope is a good fit.
How can we change IT provider while minimising disruption?
We plan the move around notice periods, access, documentation, licences and backups, with a clear transition owner and checks before services move. Use our IT provider handover checklist to prepare.
Is your helpdesk available 24/7?
CIS provides 24/7 monitoring. Helpdesk availability and response targets are agreed separately in your service scope, including priorities, escalation and any out-of-hours arrangements.
How much does business IT support in Oxfordshire cost?
The cost depends on your users, devices, business applications, locations and the support coverage you need. Check which software licences, security services, backup arrangements and site visits are included, and which projects are charged separately.
